Heck, even some MCA Blues at $1600 aren't a crazy lot more, and they're inverted...

This man is correct.
I've worked with FEAL for other cars before and Odi really knows his suspension. He pretty much bends over backwards for his $1500 coilovers to make sure the dampeners are exact on each coilover per specs. Fortune Auto does the same.
However, there's a lot of communication involved to get the best out of the suspension. Since I'm local to FEAL, this is would be ideal and work with the shop in person. The reason I mention FORTUNE AUTO is they pretty much do the same and the OP is from the other side of the United States, just a few hours of driving.

Very much true. In my opinion, the Koni route is a better off the shelf put together than FEAL and FORTUNE. The noticed many people who buys them doesn't even ask them how the coilovers work with their total suspension. They just say spring rate.
The Koni yellow route is a lot more flexible if you don't take advantage of FEAL and FORTUNE's services.
